Benefits of technology

"The invention provides a transportation platform for the stern berth of a container ship to stack nonstandard containers / combined containers. The platform has a frame with a width corresponding to an ISO standard container's width, and includes at least one corner fixing module group for stacking standard containers. The platform also includes a plurality of top corner fittings arranged on the frame, which can be combined into at least one stacking corner fitting group with a predefined space in length direction. The platform can be used in combination with other transportation platforms to create a more complex and versatile solution for stacking nonstandard containers."

Problems solved by technology

However, since the above corner fixing modules 4,5 correspond to the standard container's sizes, it is impossible to transport other containers with nonstandard sizes, even those with a standard width size but a nonstandard length size, resulting thus in a very low efficiency in use of the stern berth even though the ship is fully loaded.

fifth embodiment

[0046]FIG. 7 is a side perspective view showing the stacking of a transportation platform on an ISO standard container and stacking further the combined containers with special length size on said transportation platform according to the present invention. The containers 67a, 67b are connected into a combined container 67. Take its one side as an example to illustrate the stacking relationship among the standard container 66, the transportation platform 100, and the combined container 67. The bottom corner fitting 661 of the standard container 66 is locked with the angle seat 4 (5)through a twist lock, while its top corner fitting 662 is locked with the standard fixed top corner fitting 31 through the twist lock 57 so as to place the transportation platform 100 onto the standard container 66. The top corner fitting (e.g. 401) of the transportation platform 100 can be locked with the bottom corner fitting 671a of the container 67a in the combined container 67 through a twist lock.

sixth embodiment

[0047]FIG. 8 is a side perspective view showing the stacking of a transportation platform on an ISO standard container and stacking further a single container with special length size on said transportation platform according to the present invention. The container 68 with special length size 68 can be for example a 24′, 30′, 7450 mm or 7820 mm container. Take its one side as an example to illustrate the stacking relationship among the standard container 66, the transportation platform 100, and the container with special length size 68. The bottom corner fitting 661 of the standard container 66 is locked with the corner fixing module 4 (5) through a twist lock, the top corner fitting 662 is locked with the corner fitting 31 on the bottom surface of the transportation platform 100 through a twist lock 57, so that the transportation platform 100 is locked on the standard container 66. The top corner fitting 402 on the top of said transportation platform 100 is locked with the bottom c...

seventh embodiment

[0048]FIG. 9 is an end view showing the stacking of a transportation platform on an ISO standard container and stacking further a container / combined container with special length but with standard width size on said transportation platform according to the present invention. The standard container 66 on the lower layer C1 is fitted with the corner fixing module 4 (5) of the stern berth through its bottom corner fitting to realize the stacking, while the transportation platform 100 is fitted with the top corner fitting of the standard container 66 of the lower layer C1 through its bottom corner fitting on the bottom part and is stacked on said standard container 66 on the lower layer C1. Each of the containers / combined containers 69 with standard width are fitted with the top corner fittings of the corresponding transportation platforms 100 through their bottom corner fittings so as to be stacked on said corresponding transportation platforms 100 respectively.

Abstract

A transportation platform is provided for using in the stern berth of a container ship to stack nonstandard containers / combined containers. The transportation platform includes a frame with a width corresponding to the ISO standard container width, at least one fixing corner fitting group arranged on the bottom surface of the frame, in which each fixing corner fitting group includes four bottom corner fittings which are arranged according to the corner fitting arrangement for the ISO standard containers, a plurality of top corner fittings arranged on the top surface of the frame, which can be combined into at least one stacking corner fitting group, each stacking corner fitting group has four 2×2 arrayed top corner fittings with a predefined space between each other in length direction, corresponding to the corner fitting space in length direction for the stacked nonstandard containers or combined containers.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a transportation platform, in particular to a transportation platform for transporting containers with special length size by means of the berths at ship's stern. The invention also relates to a combination of said transportation platforms.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]At present, in the transportation of containers by use of container ships, usually two colligation bridges 2 are arranged both in front and in rear part on the deck 1 of the stern of a container ship, as shown in FIG. 1, and usually a capstan (not shown) for ship mooring between the two colligation bridges 2 is arranged, so a space 8 with a certain height should be set aside at the stern up from the deck for stacking containers. Therefore, usually a high stage 3 with a certain height above the deck 1 is arranged at the stern for installing the capstan in the space 8. In addition, corner fixing modules 4 or 5 on the high stage 3 are used to define a plural...
